True, but that part of chiropractic is a subset of what physiotherapy provides. However, I've had chiropractors tell me flat out that I should come in more often so I don't get sick (I use them to help quickly release tension in my upper back and neck, something I usually manage with massage and exercise, but occasionally a chiropractic treatment provides much quicker relief.) I've met some very good chiropractors, and know people who had great success working with them, but the difference between an average chiropractor and a great one, is a great one doesn't pretend that their adjustment are a cure-all, and will provide exercises similar to what a physiotherapist would provide to help recover more permanently (mostly related to lower back pain in this case, not upper back/neck pain where the effects of exercise is limited).
